The other day I managed to pick up an N64 game I'd been after for a while, that being Conkers Bad Fur Day, I remember wanting it at the time back in 2001 or something, but never brought it, bacause I was saving my little hard earned pennies for a Gamecube.

Man, after like a couple of seconds of playing Bad Fur Day, I was thinking, yeah, it's Rare, it will be like what they did with Donkey King 64 and make it pretty much like Banjo-Kazooie, though don't get me wrong I loved DK64 and more so Banjo-Kazooie. But after the initial couple mins, I was proved wrong, the whole B button context sensitive thing and some awesome humour, I loved the game. It's like a cross between Banjo-Kazooie, Southpark and a Warner Brothers cartoon. Sooooo many lmao parts and awesome chapters, though some of the game is stolen from movie's, like Saving Private Ryan, Aliens and The Matrix.

Another game I missed out on at the time was Half Life, I didn't really play anything other than Nintendo till about 2 years ago, when I started PC gaming, I picked up a copy of Half Life and started playing and was like, man this is hot. With both games though, I felt that they ruled but especially in Half Lifes case, a little outdated, as sooooo many FPS have ripped the shit and ideas out of the game and added on it.

So yeah, post games you missed out and and later played, or games you always wanted to but never did.

I always used to rent the Mega Man games for NES but never bought them. I finally have them on the Gamecube compilation and it's great. :D

i bought banjo tooie off ebay last summer. I didn't even know the game came out when it did.

I was dissapointed that the games were unlinkable and the ice key i wanted for years ended up being a piece of shit

Grand Theft Auto 3, It was banned before I got a chance to get it.

I wanted Ocarina of Time so bad back in the day.

I got it a couple years ago when it came out as the bonus for Wind Waker.

Never finished Ocarina of Time. I got up to the forest Temple and then moved out of my parents' house. :'(

I co-own Majora's Mask with my brothers but have never played it due to there only being 2 save slots. Gay.

I had never played Majora's Mask until a month ago when I downloaded the ROM. I must say that while it is still a good game, the time-limit is really annoying.

I also missed Wind Waker back then because I didn't have enough money, and then slowly forgot about it. That is, until last month, when I Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask back to back. I remembered I didn't have Wind Waker, went out and bought it last week.

I am currently in the Forest Haven dungeon. :cool:

Yeah, I know. I watched/advised my brothers through the whole thing. Usually, when there is a one player RPG, one of us plays, the other 2 watch and offer up advice when the player is stuck.
